Purgatory Creek

My guide advised me: «His eyes are too pure, to behold evil.. . Therefore, it is here, where you shall await salvation.. .»
Aside from reflecting the properties of a «state of being» or condition, Purgatory Creek, AKA «Corey Creek» is a very real, physical place on this earth, in a freshwater, wetland steam in Blue Point. The Town of Brookhaven established this area, just off Montauk Highway, as a manifestation of temporal punishment for those imperfectly purified or spiritually unrepenting of their venial sins. Behold, the devil’s portal, through a fireplace of stone, centered in the «three at once» trees (see pics). Aside from the passing traffic, it is a very still place, best visited at night. There are picnic tables and benches here, as well as a faux wishing well, though your earthly appetites and wants are no longer to be of importance.
